Do not believe what Dominic Raab or anyone else is telling you re Repatriation Flights. They simply do not exist and they have repatriated nobody at all. I contacted the Consulate as told to to register for these flights. After telling me that there are no flights operating from Alicante which I already knew, here is what they replied -
"Hi Nikki. We are sorry to hear about your situation and understand your frustration around multiple flight cancellations. We are suggesting to individuals in Alicante to look at flights from Barcelona or Madrid. There are several trains a day to both cities from Alicante and from there flights are direct to UK. We would suggest you check Vueling, Iberia and British Airways for flight availability over the next few days. Do you have somewhere to stay in Alicante for the time being?
I'm afraid most flights are to London and you would have to arrange ongoing travel from there. We understand this is a complicated journey for some and where possible, if you have long term accommodation, it may be better for you to stay where you are for the time being."
So now you know the truth
